167. 174 The Gate of the Heart
I don't know if this horse really wants to get along with her, as long as she has the movement to stand up, the horse has to move, walk a few steps, and finally Jun Xiaoxiao has no choice but to lower his head and say good things to it......
Jun Xiaoxiao stared at the horse's ears and worked hard, not feeling anyone at all, the person stood on the wall and watched her stupid for a while, and finally couldn't help but hold her forehead when she heard her say that she wanted to give Ma Er three wives and four concubines.
This horse is a female, okay. How do you have three wives and four concubines?
"What are you doing?"
Jun Xiaoxiao was focusing on soft grinding and hard soaking kung fu for thirty years, but he didn't want to suddenly interrupt people, so he was startled and almost fell off the horse. Turning her head to look in the direction of the voice, she saw a black mass standing on the wall with her hands on her chest and looking at her condescendingly.
Jun Xiaoxiao stared at him and frowned, so familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere. And the sound is quite familiar. Tilting his head and thinking for a while, he suddenly had an epiphany, and immediately lit up a pair of eyes, and asked him to protect Zhuxi, so if he is here, Zhuxi must also be there.
"Xiao Hei, your master is here, right? Pull me up. β
The Dark Guard frowned, glancing disgustingly at the black hand she handed over. Looking at her dirty face and torn clothes, it seems that she has suffered a lot along the way, but if she can find here, she still has a little conscience.
The Dark Guard reached out and pulled her up, helping her to jump into the wall with her.
Jun Xiaoxiao hurriedly broke free, and was about to rush inside.
The dark guard hurriedly grabbed her, "What are you rushing for?" I can't get over it if I find it. β
Jun Xiaoxiao was puzzled. When I turned my head to look at him, I saw that he shook his head, and immediately his heart tightened, and a bad premonition struck.
"Let's talk as we go." The Dark Guard strode inside. After a moment of deliberation on the choice of words, he slowly spoke. "Master's ...... Do you know the ability? β
Jun nodded slightly, of course she knew, she knew it when she first met.
The dark guard also nodded, "Master, he is actually very hard alone, even if others can't see it, but we who have been watching him in the dark all know it." He's actually really fragile and insecure. β
Vulnerable, insecure...... Jun Xiao paused for a moment, she really couldn't associate these two words with Zhuxi.
is obviously such a thoughtful person who does things without leakage.
Seeing her doubts, the dark guard ignored her. She didn't find these things herself, and even if she heard them clearly, she wouldn't feel them deeply.
"Anyway, you'll find out when you go and see it." After saying that, he didn't say anything more.
Jun Xiaoxiao was worried about Zhuxi in her heart, he didn't say anything more, and she didn't ask, but unconsciously sped up her pace.
I don't know how long I have gone, but time has no concept in Jun Xiaoxiao's heart now. His eyes had been staring at the pavilion and attic in front of him to change positions, and suddenly he caught a glimpse of the glittering fire not far away and the heart of the man who had been drinking alone for a day in the halo before finally letting go.
It's okay, it's still in time, it's okay that he's still there, it's okay......
When I put my mind at ease, the feeling of exhaustion invaded instantly. The aches and pains in my body couldn't be stopped, and I felt as if I had suddenly returned, the faint stinging pain in my palm and the blood overflowing from another wound on my neck were blown by the wind, and even the small wound on my calf was burning and painful at the moment. Jun Xiaoxiao took a cool breath, slowed down, bent over and rested for a while with his hands on his knees.
The dark guard glanced back at her, and said sarcastically, "Why is it uncomfortable to walk here, how can it be good to get to the front." β
Obviously, I don't know the reason why Jun Xiaoxiao slowed down, but his words are somewhat intriguing. Is there anything ahead that makes people uncomfortable and shocking and can't move forward?
Jun Xiaoxiao didn't have the strength to study his words in detail, anyway, he would be able to walk to Zhuxi after walking for a while, and there was nothing to worry about other things. So he rested for a while, and strode towards the light.
As he got closer, Zhuxi's appearance became clearer. He was reclining on the roof of a two-story attic, with several jars in front of him, some of which were empty, and were tossed aside, and he now held one in his arms. From time to time, I tilted my head and took a few sips.
It's a little far away, and I can't see his expression clearly, but judging from his slightly arrogant movements, the man who has always paid attention to appearance should be drunk.
Jun Xiaoxiao saw that he staggered several times as if he was about to fall from above, and his heart also rose to his throat. I couldn't help but speed up my pace and rushed over, but I didn't want my scalp to tighten as soon as I stepped into the yard.
No wonder Xiao Hei was in that tone just now, and now she really doesn't dare to enter this courtyard.
The tip of the shoe that stepped through the door kicked something, and the thing screamed and ran away. Jun Xiao already had a thin layer of sweat on his forehead. When I got closer, I saw the attic around Zhuxi, and the entire courtyard was crawling with rats, and the dense Cheng dΓΉ was not as good as the lineup that Shen Bixin was eaten last time. But the rats just circled, like an encirclement, and if the people in the middle didn't move, they didn't move.
Jun Xiaoxiao was a little anxious, glanced at Zhuxi in the high place, and then looked at the low walls around the courtyard, and tentatively wanted to move a little. As soon as she moved, the rats stopped and stared at her for a moment, as if there were no bones left for her to eat as long as she stepped on her feet.
Jun Xiao gasped. The secret guard next to him clasped his hands around his chest and spoke with disdain. "It's useless, it's not reliable. The master should have given a series of instructions prohibiting outsiders from entering. I've just taken a few steps in the air, and my shoes have been bitten through, and I want to go over unless you don't want to die. β
Jun Xiaoxiao frowned, "When did you find him?" β
"It's noon today. He was like this when he came, and he screamed as if he couldn't hear it. After speaking, the dark guard looked at her with interest, I don't know if it was intentional, and talked about some things about Zhuxi. The master is delicate, but he is hot on the outside and cold on the inside. Usually it seems to be very easy to get along with, but it's just the surface, but not everyone can make a deep friendship. However, the subordinates see that the master is very attentive to his wife. There are only two people in this world who have been treated so attentively by their masters, and Madame should be glad. β
Speaking of this, Jun Xiaoxiao still didn't react, and the smile on his face turned cold, "Didn't Madame see it?" The master is now about immersed in his own world. I stayed here for most of the day, and the master's movements did not change, but he repeated the posture of drinking. Don't say anything, don't talk about it, don't make trouble. Madame, have you ever seen someone who vents her grief like this? β
Jun Xiaoxiao turned her head to look at him at this time, with no expression on her face, "Xiao Hei, what do you want to say?" β
The Dark Guard smiled, "What can I say?" The master has now given us to Madame, and I am naturally thinking about Madame. β
Jun Xiaoxiao turned his head and didn't speak again. What the dark guard said, she roughly understood.
Zhuxi is very similar to her in some places, although I don't know what he has experienced in the past, but it is definitely not a good thing, with the experience of the past, the sense of self-protection is getting stronger and stronger, and it will lock the heart. Only when you really meet someone who wants to be with you to old age will you open your heart, on the surface it looks light and breezy, but when the outstretched hand is rejected, the heart door will be locked again, but this time maybe even your own heart is locked.
Just as she refused to listen to his explanation because she was afraid to hear him tell him about the conspiracy that designed her, he was afraid that she would say the words that would break their bonds, so he left alone.
This may seem a bit hypocritical, but it is instinctive for people who have been hurt to more or less draw a line with others to protect themselves.
Jun Xiaoxiao stared at his face for a long time. Thinking that they had realized what was happening now, if they had noticed it earlier, or if she hadn't been so sensitive, she might not have come this far. I don't know if it's too late. After thinking about it so quietly, I was shocked to realize that I really didn't know anything about him.
Jun Xiaoxiao closed her eyes, tried to suppress the depression in her heart, and called out to Zhuxi.
Sure enough, he didn't hear it. It was night, and although they were separated by a courtyard, there was no sound around them, and she could hear it under normal circumstances, but he didn't move.
Jun Xiaoxiao shouted again in his direction and walked into the courtyard. The rats in the yard were probably startled when they saw her come in, and they stepped back a little, and then reacted and quickly gathered towards her, squeaking and screaming threateningly, and a pair of small eyes that focused on the moon shining strangely, looking extremely terrifying.
Jun Xiaoxiao gritted his teeth and took another step forward, and the rats were even more vigilant, arching their bodies to make a gesture of preparing for an attack. Jun Xiao's heart was cold, she had seen such a battle. Shen Bixin's face distorted by pain was deeply impressed. With a wry smile, could it be that she is going to die so ugly today?
"Zhuxi, come home with me." This time, her volume increased a lot, probably because the voice was louder, Zhuxi paused as she poured wine, but she still didn't turn her head.
Jun Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that it is not too late.
Gritted her teeth and took another step forward, before she could speak, there was a piercing cry in her ears, Jun Xiaoxiao only felt a flower in front of her, and the rats suddenly rushed towards her like a tide as if they had been greatly stimulated. rushed to her, and my heart was cold, I shouldn't have just explained here today.
I opened my mouth and wanted to call him again, but as soon as I shouted out a bamboo word, I felt a strong wind behind me, and the whole person flew up in the air with a light light, and in a panic, I reached out to grab it, and I was a little relieved when my palm touched the warmth that belonged to humans. Before he could catch his breath, he was yelled at by that fiercely.
"You don't want to die, we still want it." Gnashing of teeth. If she could, she guessed he would happily kill her instead of a mouse.
The dark guard hugged her for a few points, and finally landed next to Zhuxi safely.
Jun Xiaoxiao was thrown down by him at all, rubbing his aching buttocks.
"Xiao Hei, didn't you say you couldn't come, you lied to me."
The dark guard didn't bother to pay attention to her, and snorted, "I can't wake up the master again, what's the use of coming over." β
Jun Xiaoxiao thought about it, anyway, she was at her own expense, so she didn't say anything more.
The guard glared at her fiercely again, and then flew out of the courtyard a few more times.
Jun Xiaoxiao sent him out and turned back to see Zhuxi.
